Can I Have Surgery if I Have Eczema?

Question

I have eczema on most part of my body, so I was wondering if is possible for me to have surgery like Liposuction, breast augmentation or brazilian butt lift.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A physical exam would be necessary to determine the extent of the eczema, but you can probably have all of these procedures due to the very small incisions needed and the likelihood that the areas of eczema can be avoided.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations, Brazilian buttlifts and liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Your condition does not prevent you from having plastic surgery now, but you will need a physical exam. In general, you need to be at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
